The red-hot reports about the Twitter burner accounts currently being linked to Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo aren’t cooling off.

After The Ringer’s Ben Detrick broke the story about multiple accounts which criticized NBA players, coaches, front office members and even released nonpublic medical information, most have called for Colangelo to be fired.

But not everyone.

As Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports revealed, there’s at least one high-ranking person in the 76ers organization who’s pushing to make sure Colangelo doesn’t lose his job.

Colangelo’s job is on the line, especially given the ownership group’s desire to keep internal team information as private as possible. At least one high-ranking Sixers official is fighting to save Colangelo’s job, a person familiar with details told USA TODAY Sports.

It’s certainly eye-opening, and while it’s unknown exactly who that person is, it may not matter.

If there’s any truth behind these rumors, Colangelo’s future would surely be all but sealed. The 76ers will likely wait to let the investigation play out before making a final call, but at this point, there are multiple looming questions about how this wild situation will end.
